When are auto designers going to get real?

Question:
When I was 18, concept cars were cool. Over the years I saw how few of them ever got to market, or even influenced what ended up in showrooms. Now I am 65 -- too old to be disappointed, old enough to be sad about the wasted legacy...or is it the legacy of waste?

Concept cars have and always will be cool. Note that "concept" means "idea." Testing the public's reaction to new styling thoughts before building them is a very good business decision. Every designer's ideas cannot always be converted into production vehicles. Final body design is a committee decision, one which must be economical to assemble, safe to drive and salable to the public. Auto manufacturers are in business to sell their product, not to create art. If one can do both, wonderful. Unfortunately, history often is not kind to radical styling ideas - it is a trial and error situation. Remember the Chrysler and DeSoto Airflow of the thirties. It was an engineering and innovation star, but a sales debacle. No doubt you have noticed that some concept cars, such as the Dodge Challenger, will end up in production, although probably somewhat more sedate.

I would say that we should concentrate on the accomplishments in both form and function. Unfortunately, it is one of those harsh realities that you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince.

What's the code for the Saab 900SE radio??

I am 22, and I think it is ashame when people "trick out" a car with "spinners" or weird paint jobs. Also, I think that concept cars are just for auto designers to show off what they can do, and for people with too much money, like filthy rich celebs to get ideas on how to spend their money. It is a wasted my dad, who is 50, says these people have more money than sense. And I agree.
